Henson says he and Bucks nearing agreement on contract extension
http://www.thescore.com/nba/news/841749
The Milwaukee Bucks enjoyed a productive summer, following an upstart season
by inking swingman Khris Middleton to a four-year contract extension and
shoring up their frontcourt with the signing of free-agent big man Greg
Monroe.
公鹿今夏补得不错，跟蜜豆汤签了四年的合约，还找来了Greg Monroe
One piece of offseason business, though, has notably been left unattended to.
Back in mid-July, the Bucks and center John Henson were said to be
progressing toward an extension. In the six-odd weeks since, no extension has
materialized, and there's been radio silence from both sides regarding the
status of negotiations.
在7月中原本就有提到有跟Henson签约，但是隔了六个礼拜没有任何消息
According to Henson, nothing has changed since those initial reports, and
despite the apparent holdup, he feels the two sides are still on track to
complete a deal before the Nov. 2 deadline for extensions.
Henson:两边还在积极讨论在十一月二号以前完成延长合约
"We're close," Henson said at Bucks Media Day on Monday, according to Gery
Woelfel of the Racine Journal Times. "We're just trying to work out some
details. It's a process; we'll see what happens. But I definitely want to be
here for a long time."
在媒体日，Henson:我们快完成了，只差一些细节。我很希望可以在这里待久一点。
In his third NBA season, the bouncy, 6-foot-11, ultra-long Henson saw many of
his raw numbers take a dip. He averaged seven points and 4.7 rebounds, down
from 11.1 and 7.1 the year prior. But he also made great strides as a rim
protector and help defender, nearly doubling his block rate (he led the team
with two per game, in just 18.3 minutes) and buoying the Bucks' second-ranked
defense.
这是他的第三个球季，他场均7分4.7篮板，在前一季11.1分7.1篮板。
但是他保护篮框保护得很好，在18.3分钟内可以送出2次的火锅
Having Monroe in the fold could make minutes tougher to come by for Henson -
especially with sophomore Jabari Parker returning from an ACL injury and
expected to assume the starting power forward role - and thus depress his
value, at least where the Bucks are concerned. But when asked about the
signing, Henson was upbeat and optimistic.
有Monroe在场上，会压缩Henson上场时间，加上Parker的回归，会以先发大前锋上场。
但提到签约Henson还是相当乐观。
"When I heard he was coming here, I was happy, man," Henson said. "He's going
to make us a better team incrementally. One of the things we were missing was
having a guy to go to inside, and he's that guy."
Henson: 当我听到他(Monroe)要来，我很开心，它会让我们球队变得更好，我们正缺能打
进里面的球员，他正是这样的球员。
Monroe excels as an interior scorer, and doesn't possess the range that might
make him an ideal frontcourt fit with a close-to-the-basket center like
Henson (the Detroit Pistons notably struggled trying to pair Monroe with
Andre Drummond). Still, Henson feels the Bucks, and head coach Jason Kidd,
can find a way to make it work.
Monroe是一个好的得分手，跟需要接近篮框的中锋配得起来，Henson就是这样的球员。
"I think me and Greg will be great together against those (taller) teams," he
said, referring to the Chicago Bulls team that knocked Milwaukee out in the
first round of last year's playoffs. "And when teams go small, we've got
Jabari and we got Giannis (Antetokounmpo).
Henson: 我觉得我跟Monroe一起对抗有很多长人的队应该不错，如果对上较矮小的队，
我们有Jabari和字母哥
"We can do so many things, so it's going to be fun. It'll be interesting to
see how coach integrates everybody."
Henson: 我们可以做到很多事，这样很有趣，乐于见到教练好好提升大家
心得：Henson好像也一直没有打出来，虽然有不错的篮板和火锅
